Get what you pay for.
Cheap stay, "interesting" guests.
Quite at night. Rooms clean, staff are friendly.
Looks better on the inside. Outside needs renovation. Bring ID for check in!

Matches the price… Very tired hotel. Grubby carpet, very bad mattress - springs in the back. Helpful and friendly welcome. Decent breakfast for the price. Ideal if you need to take a rest on a long journey.

Cheap get away
Well as they say you get what you pay for . Room was lovely and clean with fresh towels and linen etc . Room was very dated and much needed reverb throughout the hotel . Shower and bath taps run water together which is a waste of a lot water . Beds comfy so no complaints from us as it did its purpose. Loads of takeaways walking distance and aldis 5min drive .

It was noisy at night. I reported it to the reception twice. The receptionist changed my room. The room was very hot because the heating pipes were in that room.
